Macos – bad CPU type in executable: wine @ macOS Catalina

macmacosmacos catalinawine

My wine met some problems while executing Windows executable file:

$ wine GECacheBldr.exe
zsh: bad CPU type in executable: wine

How to fix this?

PS: My wine is installed using HomeBrew:

$ brew cask install wine-stable

EDIT

Cannot execute winecfg either:

$ winecfg
/usr/local/bin/winecfg: line 46: /usr/local/bin/wine: Bad CPU type in executable
/usr/local/bin/winecfg: line 46: /usr/local/bin/wine: Undefined error: 0

Try

file `which wine`

If it says something in the lines of Mach-O executable i386: Apple dropped support for 32bit executables with Catalina 10.15.

You might want to try wine64 instead of wine.

Fix your PATH

Get rid of those aliases. Remove them from the bash_profile. First of all, check your path.

echo $PATH

Here, /usr/local/bin should take precedence over /usr/bin. If this isn't the case, something is wrong. Try if the following works, when you add this line to ~/.bash_profile:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

Save it, open a new shell and run

which -a ruby

Now you should see that /usr/local/bin/ruby is used, whereas /usr/bin/ruby comes second (this is the default ruby 1.8.7 of OS X).

Alternative: Install RVM

For a better Ruby experience I would recommend you remove the Homebrew installation of Ruby altogether and install RVM, the Ruby Version Manager. Why? Because it allows you to switch between your locally installed Rubies and Gems.

Install git over Homebrew if you haven't already. Then:

bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/install/rvm)

After the installation, add RVM to your ~/bash_profile by entering the following into a terminal:

echo '[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM function' >> ~/.bash_profile

Finally, open a new Terminal window and check if RVM works:

type rvm | head -1

This should output "rvm is a function". You can then proceed to install Rubies:

rvm install 1.9.2

Note: For any further instruction type following in command line

rvm notes

This will give you comprehensive notes on what's and how's.

When this is done, you can set it as default:

rvm --default use 1.9.2
